Resolute Desk is trending

Coverage around his leaving a note in the Resolute Desk for President Biden after his unspeakable vandalism and poisoning of democracy is a reason for pessimism because it signals that even at this late hour too many explicators still can’t understand what Trump wrought.

One of the first things President Biden will see when he enters the Oval for the first time is the letter left for him on the Resolute Desk by President Trump, the same spot where President Obama left his.

President Biden behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office for the first time. Of course family photos are already setup behind him due to the diligence of the White House residence staff who quickly work to turnover the White House.

It was the "drain the swamp" order he signed sitting behind the resolute desk in January 28. He bragged that most of the aides, flanked behind him, wouldn't be able to find work again because he was draining the swamp. https://t.co/O14H2jBwGE

Inside Biden's Oval Office: Busts of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy flank a fireplace. Behind the Resolute desk is a bust of Cesar Chavez. A painting of Benjamin Franklin is intended to represent Biden's interest in following science. https://t.co/0nHmXwZIav

👀 a bust of César Chávez — labor leader, farmworker organizer, and civil rights activist — behind the Resolute desk. https://t.co/0bnwzENdBD

Look who is sitting at the Resolute Desk wearing a mask, taking care of business. https://t.co/g7PBY09EiR

President Biden is wearing a mask behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office

Great first look of the Oval Office. This shot caught my eye. Most presidents don't have this many portraits on the wall opposite the Resolute Desk, but I ❤️ it. The 3 presidents who faced the biggest crises (GW, Lincoln, FDR), & the feuding AH & TJ. So symbolic. https://t.co/O3N3XIPX8S https://t.co/GCFantjqlV

I am smiling ear to ear with a full heart! #organizerswin #SiSePuede @UFWupdates #Unionproud “Behind the Resolute desk is a bust of Cesar Chavez. The office also includes busts of Rosa Parks, Eleanor Roosevelt and sculpture by Allan Houser of the Chiricahua Apache” https://t.co/3FlXZpoqZf

Sincèrement, quel plaisir de voir Joe Biden derrière le resolute desk du Bureau Ovale. https://t.co/waAyolGyLv

@ScottMorrisonMP @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris President Biden sits at the Resolute desk in the Oval Office & goes straight to work w/ executive orders undoing Trumps rampage on reason & civility. EO issued forthwith returns America to Paris climate accord. Mr Morrison you have been put on notice and are now a global pariah. https://t.co/yRBcG0jIEJ

This picture makes it all so real. Feels great to see this man behind the resolute desk. 📸 @dougmillsnyt https://t.co/KWvmRy2vc5

@MysterySolvent trump probably grabbed a Whopper wrapper and wrote: “Generous Letter” on it with a sharpie, and left it on the resolute desk.

@Angry_Staffer Admirable that he's taking care of business righting wrongs, and not trolling for photo ops. I wondered whether the Resolute Desk might have been disfigured by the bitter baby.

@mattyglesias Yea It's pretty silly, there's the resolute desk that is just for show and then there's an actual office where they do all their work. But we're not allowed to ever talk about the office, apparently.

President Biden has filled the Oval Office with images of American leaders and icons, focusing the room around massive portrait of Franklin Delano Roosevelt that hangs across from the Resolute Desk https://t.co/y2h80Ctpgt

@gatzev_ @JoeBiden @TheDemocrats @LabourDemocrats @DemsAbroad @FlaDems @MedwayLabour @MedCoopParty @sijuwadeade @Harinder__Singh @ClivJoh @CllrAndyStamp Looking at this angle I pretty sure the answer is yes but perhaps someone from @DockyardChatham or either a historian or antique desk expert can confirm! #Inauguration2021 #Resolute #ProudToBeChatham UPDATE - @Bakari_Sellers on @cnn just confirmed it is the Resolute Desk! https://t.co/B59wBTjMK5

@MysterySolvent My heart is so so so happy to see him at the resolute desk!!!

@NBCNews Did they sanitize the resolute desk first?

Joe Biden wore a mask while seated behind the Resolute Desk with a stack of orders early Wednesday evening. He said there was 'no time to start like today.' https://t.co/KGePGm6Jug

@NBCNews FoxNews: bust of Hugo Chavez on Biden's Resolute desk

“Biden is also nodding to segments of the Democratic Party’s base via historic references. Behind the Resolute desk is a bust of Cesar Chavez.” Let’s see if the Democrats translate symbolism into on the ground outreach. https://t.co/pDflaVBJUX

"President Biden has filled the Oval Office with images of American leaders and icons, focusing the room around massive portrait of Franklin Delano Roosevelt that hangs across from the Resolute Desk." Well, he faces FDR-level challenges, so... https://t.co/DBnaNlLkyM
